Abstract:
This article examines Sino-Indian power balancing in Nepal to explore Kathmandu’s policy options for security. Traditionally, both regional giants have sought to co-opt Nepal in a bid to outflank the other in the Himalayan region. India has exercised greater leverage profiting on ethnic and economic connections. Presently, China’s rise has offered Kathmandu a window of opportunity to substitute the Indian foothold in Nepal. China’s strategic leverage has increased due to the up-gradation of Sino-Nepalese political and economic connections. Nepal’s tilt towards Beijing has led New Delhi to seek reassurances from Kathmandu. Sino-Indian overlapping cultural and competing politico-strategic objectives has increased Kathmandu’s volatility to foreign intervention. The interplay of Sino-Indian regional balancing has constrained policy options for its security. Within this context, the article seeks to analyse the following questions: a.) What are Sino-Indian power ambitions and policy objectives in Nepal? b.) How has China’s expansion of influence impacted on Nepal-India relations and Kathmandu’s policy options for security? The theoretical cushion of neo-classical realism, employing qualitative techniques of content analysis has provided a befitting context to study Nepal’s security challenges. The article argues that Kathmandu’s security drive has to tread on a thin rope of power balancing caught in between India and China. Nepal balances between its tightly knit historic ties with India and the new opportunity dawned in building connections with Beijing. Nepal’s approach marks philosophical approach of Kautilya’s Raja Mandala as an expression of expedient move to win security.

Abstract:
Air pollution has been a major problem of 21st century for both developed and developing world. It has a negative impact on various environmental aspects which directly or indirectly affect the quality of human health. Nepal, especially Kathmandu, in the current situation, is observing rapid urbanization and various infrastructure development projects. As a result, these sorts of human activities have been responsible for increasing air pollution in an enormous rate inside Kathmandu Valley. Chronic exposure of deteriorated air increases the chance of Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) like lung disease, heart disease, and cancers. Short term exposures also invite respiratory diseases and allergy. This review is an attempt to summarize the updated knowledge on the threat of air pollution on public health and discuss the sources of air pollutants in Kathmandu. We reviewed the literatures that were published in PMC, MEDLINE, life science journals, and organization official websites and finally came up with the findings and their interpretation that reveal the current scenario in the context of Kathmandu’s air quality status and its impact on human health. The knowledge about the invisible killer’s role in causing acute and chronic diseases may help in finding out the answer of the question regarding its effect and prevention.

Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to compare the average price of fruits in Nepalgunj boarding India and Kathmandu very far from the border of India. This study is based on quantitative research design. Sample design is an on probability convenience sampling method. Unstructur questionnaire were used to collect data. Both descriptive and inferential statistical analytical methods were used to analyze data. The result of the analysis showed that the average price of fruits in the two cities was different and significate the average price of fruits in Nepalganj is higher than the average price of fruits in Kathmandu. The average price of seasonal and off seasonal fruits in Nepalganj and Kathmandu isRs.251.25 andRs.127.5 respectively Variation of the price of fruits in Kathmandu is 140.41and variation price in Nepalganj is 52.71 which shows that variation of price in Kathmandu is more than in Nepalganj because of the unstable demand for fruits in Kathmand the average price of fruits in Kathmandu is less than the average price of fruits in Nepalganj because fruits importers directly import fruits in Kathmandu and after that from Kathmandu fruits­­­­ are distributed all over Nepal which increases transportation cost due to which the average price of fruits in Kathmandu is more than in Nepalganj.

Abstract:
This paper mainly deals with connectivity of Nepal with neighboring countries and beyond. Nepal entered into an agreement with India for a Raxaul – Kathmandu railway line survey last year. After rail connectivity is established with India, Nepal is expected to benefit through transport costs compared to existing road connectivity. Nepal also signed an MoU with India for the development of inland water ways during the last visit by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to India. This is expected to provide Nepal with greater opportunities of better connection with Indian ports to promote trade with her southern neighbor and beyond. Moreover, Nepal and Chinese governments have agreed to work together to construct a rail link between Kerung and Kathmandu. This should allow Indian and Chinese railways to link in Kathmandu although that may yet take some time. Similarly, if Nepal deals tactfully with India and Bangladesh to make the Kathmandu-Kakarvitta-Phulbari-Banglabandha corridor function smoothly, there is a high possibility of establishing China-Nepal-India-Bangladesh (CNIB) Economic Corridor in the future. This paper attempts to explain the critical geo-political issues and challenges in connectivity facing Nepal. This paper is based on secondary data and both the qualitative and quantitative methods have been adopted for analysis. The key point of arguments presented by the paper is that all South Asian countries need to come up with “Connectivity Diplomacy”, preferably on the Track 1.5 level.

Abstract:
The urban population of the Nepal, like most of the Asian countries, is increasing rapidly owing to an influx of migrants from other parts of the regions who come to the capital in search of employment, education, better health services and security. The decade long conflict not only triggered rapid urbanization of cities by migration from rural parts of the country but also hindered the development of new cities and towns. Today, Nepal is in a transition phase and political transformation will take place sooner or later and there will be opportunities for development of new towns and cities as the country is progressing towards federal system. For the past few decades Kathmandu, the capital city has seen unprecedented changes in terms of urbanization. Kathmandu recorded the highest population growth rate in a decade with 60.93 percent and a population density of 4408/sq.km (CBS, 2011). In the absence of a strong planning and regulating body, lack of proper housing facilities and development of economic and social activities, degradation of environment and the undesirable urban sprawl is ever spreading. Houses are being built with no proper provision of road, water supply, drainage, electricity and telephone facility. From private led to government led projects, there have been a lot of land developments in the city to meet the land and housing demands. Land pooling or land readjustment scheme is regarded as one of the most successful tools for land development as it is a public private partnership scheme and involves community in the planning process. However, there are a number of issues and problems that exist in the land pooling areas as well. So far, there are no studies done to measure or evaluate the socio-economic impacts of such projects on the community and the neighborhood. In this context, this study aims to delve on the socio-economic impacts of land pooling projects on the community. The study has been carried out taking an example of Nayabazar land pooling project, which has been considered as one of the successful and fastest in implementation. The research has been carried out to measure different indicators of socio-economic impact assessment mainly change in demography, change in aesthetic quality of neighborhood, change in employment, income, change in retail/housing markets etc. The research has been carried out by conducting questionnaire surveys, interviews from key informants, informal focus group meetings and secondary data sources. The study recognized the issues behind the impacts of land pooling on the community both socially and economically. The literature framework and analysis facilitated to generate recommendations for to mitigate such impacts, which are taking place in Nayabazar land pooling area. One of the major findings of the study has been the lack of strong and decisive institution to take charge of management and further development of the study area.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a descriptive and analytical study of Newar marriage and kinship in Kathmandu. Essentially, this is a study about caste and the role that it plays in Newar life, in particular, the way that caste is expressed through marriage patterns and kinship rituals. This study also shows that although the link between one's caste and one's traditional caste occupation is breaking down, one's caste identity is still maintained through one's choice of marriage partner and one's participation in kinship rituals which occur at the various levels of caste organization. Newar caste organizations are also undergoing a process of transformation. In addition to the traditional caste organizations, there are also new intercaste organizations which cater to the ritual needs of those in intercaste marriages. This recent phenomenon coincides with the professionalization of other caste organizations, which, in addition to performing their ritual duties, have also taken on the role of social and economic guardians to their caste members. It could be argued that although some forms of caste are no longer applicable, in other ways, caste in Newar society has never been stronger or more important. Despite the claim that intercaste marriages are on the rise, the data shows that the majority of Newars still practice caste endogamy. Membership into a caste organization - which is through the initiation ritual - is so important to Newar identity that intercaste couples have started their own caste organization to ensure that their offspring will officially be a part of a caste group. In sum, this study shows that despite the fact that caste is no longer recognized in the Nepalese constitution, caste is still the main vector of Newar identity, and this is seen most clearly through the analysis of Newar marriage and kinship.

Abstract:
The city fabric has overlapping layers of physical, social, and experiential characteristics. The physical form created by the built structures, the social form shaped by the activities of the living beings, and the experiential form produced by the psychic implications of the interaction of living beings and the built environment. In my thesis I argue that the real understanding of the city fabric can only be obtained by observing it from all the physical, social, and experiential aspects.In this thesis, I have conducted a case study of the city fabric of Kathmandu. Its fabric comprises of a compact organic structure of chowks interconnected with alleys and streets with array of building facades. This study analyses the built structure, the social structure, and the interaction of human with the built environment in the chowks of Kathmandu city through a series of graphic illustrations. It has produced an in-depth understanding of the chowks and the city fabric as a whole. This type of study can be conducted to clarify the structure and setting of the city fabric. Urban designers can use this type of study to project potential strategies for further development of the city in the right direction and also assist in the urban design of new cities.

Abstract:
The present study seeks to investigate the linguistic behavior of two Newari high castes, called Shresthas and Udas, living in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, in their use of Newari, the ethnic language, and Nepali, the national language. Specifically, the study attempts to explain the hypothesis that the Hindu (Shrestha) Newars are becoming monolingual in Nepali while the Buddhist (Udas) Newars are maintaining their bilingualism in Nepali and Newari. To do so, a questionnaire was distributed to a total of 96 subjects, selected through quota sampling procedures. The questionnaire not only elicits information about the situational and societal variation in the subjects' use of Newari and Nepali but also reveals their attitudes and opinions about the differential use of these languages. Also, the participant observation method was employed to supplement and validate the responses derived from the questionnaire survey.The results from this study suggest a diglossic behavior in the Udas' use of Newari and Nepali, which, however, is remarkably different from those found in classic diglossic settings. This, in turn, leads to a reexamination of Ferguson's concept of diglossia. The Shresthas, on the other hand, frequently alternate between Newari and Nepali regardless of situation. Such linguistic differences between these two groups are related to their varied social networks and relationships; the Udas Newars' greater use of Newari is due to their closed social networks while the Shresthas' greater use of Nepali is due to their open social networks.The data on the analysis of the subjects' attitudes and opinions toward Nepali and Newari indicate that the Udas Newars are positive and favorable toward Newari while the Shresthas are ambivalent in their opinions toward these languages. This study, therefore, emphasizes a strong need for bilingual education in the country.The results of the present study show that the Udas' use of Newari exclusively at home and with children is a major factor in its retention. Among the Shresthas, it is rapidly losing ground to Nepali. Newari then is gradually dying away among the Shresthas, and will continually do so in the absence of institutional support.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Engenharia do Ambiente
Foi desenvolvido um modelo numérico tridimensional de fluxo subterrâneo do vale de Katmandu (capital do Nepal) para avaliar o impacto da bombagem de água subterrânea sobre o padrão do fluxo de água subterrânea. Devido à escassez e contaminação da água de superfície, as águas subterrâneas constituem na região a principal fonte de água para abastecimento doméstico, agrícola e mesmo industrial. No entanto, apesar da importância local das águas subterrâneas, a hidrogeologia do vale de Katmandu ainda não se encontra bem estudada. Sabe-se que devido à recarga limitada e à captação não regulamentada de águas subterrâneas, o nível piezométrico da região tem decaído rapidamente, para valores que revelam a não sustentabilidade da captação deste recurso de água. Dados geológicos e hidrogeológicos foram integrados para desenvolver um modelo hidrogeológico conceptual do sistema aquífero do vale de Katmandu, que foi a base para o desenvolvimento do modelo numérico. O sistema aquífero foi modelado numericamente utilizando o programa MODFLOW 4.2, em estado estacionário e definindo três camadas, duas correspondentes ao aquífero da base e ao aquífero mais superficial, e a terceira a um nível de baixa condutividade hidráulica e com um comportamento de aquitardo. Foi utilizado o programa MODPATH para simular os sentidos e direcção preferenciais de fluxo subterrâneo. A área total do modelo é de cerca de 327 km2 e foi dividida em células de aproximadamente 18,330 m2. Os limites do modelo foram delimitados com com base em mapas topográficos e o modelo digital do terreno extraído a partir de uma imagem raster. Os parâmetros hidráulicos do sistema aquífero foram atribuídos com base nos valores de estudos anteriores e foram ajustados durante a calibração do modelo. O mecanismo de recarga foi considerado como principal entrada directa de água no aquífero e dá-se por infiltração da água das chuvas. Utilizou-se o método do balanço hídrico recomendado pela FAO para determinar o valor de recarga anual de água subterrânea. O modelo foi calibrado a partir de valores de níveis água subterrânea medidos nos furos de bombagem e que são monitorizados. A modelação do fluxo subterrâneo em estado estacionário permitiu determinar gradientes hidráulicos, velocidades aparentes e padrões de fluxo no interior da área de estudo. O modelo foi utilizado para simular em regime estacionário as condições de bombagem em 2001 e 2009, pretendendo-se com este exercício demonstrar o impacto da captação de água subterrânea na região. As análises da sensibilidade permitiram determinar quais os parâmetros mais importantes para o modelo e quais aqueles que necessitam de serem melhor estudados. Este modelo de fluxo tem associadas uma série de incertezas resultantes da simplificação de dados de entrada e condições de contorno que foi preciso fazer para poder simular um caso de estudo tão complexo, da utilização de dados com pouca qualidade e da falta de caracterização detalhada das condições hidrogeológicas. É por isso importante ter em conta estas limitações a quando da interpretação e extrapolação dos resultados deste exercício de modelação.
We developed a three dimensional numerical model of groundwater flow in the valley of Kathmandu ( capital of Nepal) to assess the impact of groundwater pumping on the flow pattern of groundwater. The scarcity and contamination of surface water, groundwater in the region constitute the main source of water supply for domestic, agricultural and even industrial. However, despite the importance of local groundwater hydrogeology of the Kathmandu valley is still not well studied. It is known that due to limited recharge and unregulated abstraction of groundwater, the groundwater level in the region has declined rapidly to values that show the unsustainability of the capture of this water resource. Geologic and hydrologic data were integrated to develop a conceptual hydrogeologic model of the aquifer system of the Kathmandu valley, which was the basis for the development of the numerical model. The aquifer system was modeled numerically using the program MODFLOW 4.2, steady state and defining three layers, two corresponding to the aquifer base and the more shallow aquifer, and the third level of a low hydraulic conductivity and with an attitude of aquitard. MODPATH program was used to simulate the sense and direction of preferential groundwater flow. The total area of the model is approximately 327 km2 and is divided into cells of about 18.330 m2. The boundaries were marked with the model based on topographic maps and digital terrain model extracted from a raster image. The hydraulic parameters of the aquifer system were assigned based on values from previous studies and were adjusted during model calibration. The reloading mechanism was considered as the main direct entry of water into the aquifer and occurs by infiltration of rainwater. We used the water balance method recommended by FAO to determine the value of annual recharge of groundwater. The model was calibrated with values measured groundwater levels in boreholes and pumping stations that are monitored. The modeling of groundwater flow in steady state allowed us to determine hydraulic gradients, apparent velocities and flow patterns within the study area. The model was used to simulate steady state conditions of pumping in 2001 and 2009, intending with this exercise to demonstrate the impact of abstraction of groundwater in the region. The sensitivity analysis allowed to determine what the most important parameters for the model and which ones need to be better studied. This flow model has an associated range of uncertainties arising from the simplification of input data and boundary conditions that we had to do in order to simulate a very complex case study, using data with poor quality and lack of detailed characterization of the conditions hydrogeological. It is therefore important to consider these limitations when interpreting and extrapolating the results of this modeling exercise.

Abstract:
As societies and cultures evolve with time, human settlements also transform gradually. These days, globalization and modernity bring about rapid changes and in a matter of a few years, the face of a settlement is changed forever and the lives of the people are no longer the same. While such changes are inevitable, it will be suggested that they should be conducive to the existing built environment. Change brought about by capitalistic and consumeristic pressures does not necessarily have to take away the identity of a settlement.Because I am a person from Kathmandu, Nepal, I chose that place to study how and why change is evidenced in the environments, lifestyles and house forms of the local people, and to explore how specific families both maintain and mediate their cultural values amidst these changes. As much as Kathmandu is an Asian center of glorious art, architectural, and cultural history, it is also a center of development, growth and change. In recent years, a growing trend in Kathmandu is for homeowners to leave their ancestralhome in and of the historic city and to relocate to new urban areas. This thesis focuses on this particular trend of relocation.Available literature, documentation from other sources, and the author's few years of professional experience in Kathmandu, shape the analysis of the settlement patterns, house forms, socio-cultural activities and the economics of the urban Kathmandu in the past and the present. The families, which have lived through the changes -- as they have moved from the historic center to new neighborhoods -- are the ones who can best represent the current scenario. Four such families were studied. Their answers to a lengthy questionnaire along with photographic documentation and physical mapping of their old and new dwellings have formed the main body of research.In their responses, the local people spoke volumes on how change is necessary, desirable, and inevitable. Still, there are major cultural values that never change. They exist in the spirits and to some extent in the way people conduct daily chores in the house. To a greater extent, however, cultural affinity exists at the larger scale of a neighborhood. Quality of life in the historic city is brought about by its rich festivities, sociability of spaces and the feeling of communal harmony. Although the society is changing into a more individualistic one and material and spatial needs are fulfilled in the new location, people miss the quality of life in terms of the socio-cultural attributes of the old place.As designers, we can extract upon these attributes to bring back their lost sense of place.Being sensitive to these values, design can become more a response than an imposition.

Until urbanization of Kathmandu Valley took off in the 1980s, the management of stream-fed canal irrigation systems had been a priority of both state agencies and the population that depended on agriculture-based livelihoods. The name rajkulo (royal canal) given to these systems expresses the historical interests of (royal) state actors in canal maintenance and management. Fed by a stream called Mahadev Khola in Dadhikot, a peri-urban village in Kathmandu Valley, Mahadev Khola Rajkulo is such a traditional canal irrigation system. Using an in-depth case study of this system, we analyse the interlinkages of demographic, socio-environmental, economic and local political dynamics with the changing canal uses and management. More specifically, we discuss how and why various actors became associated with, or dissociated from, canal use and management in recent times, and what these processes mean for water access, rights and security. We reflect on the implications of these changes for canal management and canal-related conflicts, against the background of national urban policies that formally aim to conserve agricultural land in Kathmandu Valley, but stimulate urban expansion in practice.

"Women’s perceptions on Household Air Pollution." In International Conference on Public Health and Humanitarian Action. International Federation of Medical Students' Associations - Jordan, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56950/hayg3232.

Full text
Abstract:
Household air pollution (HAP) is linked to 4 million deaths worldwide, with 85% occurring in Low-middle income countries. HAP predominantly affects women as they tend to do the household daily chores. It is therefore important to understand women’s perceptions and wants for this topic. This was a joint project with 15 qualitative semi structured interviews conducted by each researcher. The research took place during May and June 2016 in Kavresthali, a village in Kathmandu district, interviewing married women over the age of 25. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. Burning wood on a traditional cook stove was identified as the most common cause of HAP. The effects of HAP most commonly affected women, with eye and respiratory problems the most commonly associated symptom. Cost, habit and taste were barriers identified preventing the switch to cleaner fuel types and stoves. Lack of information and cheaper gas were key improvements participants wanted to see. The findings in this study were similar to those identified in the literature based in other LMIC. Despite numerous common themes, unique challenges were identified in Nepal. Geographical and political issues were exclusive to Nepal. Four SMART recommendations are made which are specific to the study area: • Subsidised cleaner fuel • Education and advice to empower local women • Promotion of Improved cook stoves • Further research focusing on housing structure and ventilation Key Words Household Air pollution, Nepal

Qualitative Analysis of 400 Life Stories from Children and Young People Working in the Worst Forms of Child Labour in Nepal.

Abstract:
CLARISSA (Child Labour: Action-Research-Innovation in South and South‑Eastern Asia) is a large-scale research programme on the worst forms of child labour. It aims to identify, evidence, and promote effective multi‑stakeholder action to tackle the drivers of the worst forms of child labour in selected supply chains in Nepal and Bangladesh. This paper captures the perspectives of 400 children and young people working in the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) – mostly in the adult entertainment sector in Kathmandu, Nepal – to aid understanding about WFCL and how it can be brought to an end. Underpinning this paper is a thematic qualitative analysis of 400 life stories collected in locations where there is a high prevalence of work in the adult entertainment sector. This paper includes rich detail from those life stories and uncovers the micro-level detail and nuance within themes. The objective of this qualitative analysis was to build a stronger knowledge base on pathways into child labour and children’s lived experiences of child labour. This analysis should be considered as a companion analysis to the participatory collective analysis carried out by children themselves: Life Stories From Kathmandu’s Adult Entertainment Sector: Told and Analysed by Children and Young People.

Full text
Abstract:
The Child Labour: Action-Research-Innovation in South and South-Eastern Asia (CLARISSA) programme aims to understand the dynamics that are central to running a business in the informal economy of Nepal’s adult entertainment sector, and explore how and why the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) become a feature of business operations. This research paper explores the findings from semi-structured interviews conducted with business owners operating spa and massage parlours, khaja ghars (snack shops), cabin/hostess bars, dance bars, and dohoris (folk-dance bars) in Kathmandu. It explores business owners’ perspectives on the day-to-day running of their businesses; the risks and stressors they face; their aspirations and motivations; and, where possible, their rationale for working with children, and the types of relationships they have with them. In addition to generating business-level evidence, the research provided evidence on a series of three business owner-led Action Research Groups, which began in February 2022 and continued until September 2023. These groups have generated theories of change, and will test and evaluate solutions to shift the system away from WFCL.
